The Meaning Of "Amcrica."

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
often been discussed. the only thing Ger
tain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin. like Hunberto. Alfonso.
Grimaldi, or Garihaldi. SO common in
northern Italy. which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which
occurs as early as IA A. D.. is probably
a contracted form of the name Amalaric.
horne by a king of the Visisoths, who
died iii 53i. n Bishop Enrich was present
at the Council of Salisbury in s01. and
an Americus Baiistarius Is mentioned in
the Close Rolls Thirteenth century,. 1t
has been conjectured that the stem is i'm.
from which we get the name of Emma.
The meaning of this is not known with
certainty. though Ferguson thinks it may
denote ..strife" OF .'noise. Since. how
ever. the name is probably of Gothic
origin. and since the Amalungs We're the
royal race of the Ostragoths, it is more
likely that the stem is ANAL. which was
formerly thought to mean without
spot. but is now more plausibly con-
nected with the old Morse ami. labor. -
work" The suffix ric. cognate with
rex. reich and rick, means rich or
powerful" and therefore the most prob
able signification of Amerigo is strong
for labor. Isaac Taylor in Notes and
Queries

During his tour through the country
several years ago Remenyi played at
Whitewater. and while there was invited
to the residence of 7. D. Weeks, . prom
inent citizen of Whitewater. He took
with him his famous Cremona violin,
which he carefully deposited on a sofa in
the parlor. Shortly afterward several
young ladies who were there TO meet the
great vlolinist went into the parlor. and
removing the violin from the sofa stood
it up in one corner of the room. When
Renenyi entered the room again he
noticed his violin on the floor; he seized
it and exclaimed. My princess on the
floor!' and then he turned to the aston
ished misses and scolded them roundly
for putting his princess on the floor.
There was present at the same time a
pianist who had joined Remenyi in this
city, and who travelled with him during
the balance Of his tour Whitewater was
the first place where the new pianist
played and on this occasion he sat down
to the piano and gave an exhibition of
his playing. When he had finished
Remcnyi was 80 delighted that he went
up TO the performer and embraced him in
the most effusive manner, repeating this
performance every time he Played

The Ways Of BABY Elephants


How the young elephants in the large
herds escape from being crushed is some
thing of mystery, as they are almost
continually in motion: but when herd is
alarmed the young almost Immediately
disappear. \ close observer would see
that each baby was trottinS along directly
beneath its mother. sometimes between
her fore legs.
On the march. when little elephant is
born in herd. they stop day or two to
allow it time To exercise its little limbs
and gain strength. and then they press
on. the mothers and babies in front. the
old tuskers following in the rear, but
ready TO rush forward at the first alarm.
When rocky or hilly places are reached,
the little one are helped up by the moth
ers. who push them from behind and in
various ways. but when a river has to lie
forded OF swum. a comical sight ensues.
The stream NAV be very rapid and
rough. As the Indian rivers often are after

rest: so the mothers and fathers help
them. At first all plunge boldly m-both
Young and old-and when the old ele-
plants reach deep water. where they have

backs and sit astride. sometimes two be-
ing seen in this position. But the very

I Iam satisfied that the gentlemen who
invested such enormous sums Of money in

sion TO regret it. l am as well satisfied a.

that the only logical street railway motor
is that of electricity carried on the cars in
storage batteries. | have investigated the
matter, and pronounce at least two Of the
motors now before the public as success
full. Just now they are expensive, but
the principle i established. One or two
years at the most will have brought about
the improvements that will make the cleo
trio motor the safest, surest and cheapest
Of motors. Mind you, l mean storage

Genims seldom Seeks Adxice.

In my whole literary experience,
never received but one manuscript from
a young lady which evinced sufficient
genius to justify ME in urging her to at
tempt literature as profession and means
of support. She possessed a heaven born
gift. and without my advice the force of
her genius would have compelled her to
write.
/ believe more strongly each day live
that true genius or great ability seldom
seeks advice. 1t only seeks an outlet.
The artesian spring has To he bored and
its course directed. The natural spring
forces its own way through earth and
rock. The woman who does not feel that
she has thoughts and expressions within
her strong enough to force their way
through every obstacle and to compel the
world to listen can never hope for marked
success in literature. II She feels that
unconquerable impulse towards creation
which Is divine In its source and power,
she will not ask to be shown the way out
of the loan into the light. Success may
be long i'll coming. but she will win it at
last without being led into it.-Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

Gypsies Seeking Winter Quarters.


From the 1st TO the 18th of November
the great movement Of the American gyp-
sizes from their wandering merripen, or
life. upon the road To winter quarters Is
in full progress Some begin To fly from
the frosty days a month earlier. Others
wait with a dogged sort Of clinging to the
tent homes until fairly driven from them
by bowling December storms. Last year
l was a guest with band near Mount
Tom, in Maine, as late As Thanksgiving
day. and until it was SO rigorous in that
region that every time we got water from
the little stream hard by, We were COM
PEELED to break the ice upon it. Ere
Quentiy the larger bands divide into sew
eral smaller portions. These gradually
work their way back from extreme north
ern points to their winter homes in cities
and towns. or to where the climate Is
tolerable for little longer stay in their
loved out of door existence.
Their far annual pilgrimages are re-
markable. ! have visited gypsy bands in
New Brunswick whose members owned
property in Central Texas. Beginning in
February they Travelled leisurely in the
finest OF wagons. and with droves of the
finest horses, trading, selling, dickering,
dukkering telling fortunes, along, as the
season advanced, fairly coming with the
spring from the south, until June found
them, like many a more aristocratic wan
derer, along the shores Of the st. Croix.
During September they would traverse
the New England states. In October they
were across New York and Pennsylvania
and well into Kentucky; and before the
Christmastide had come, they were back
MT their own home for a two months
putter and preparation for the next
February departure. perhaps across Mis-
souri, and Iowa, away into the witching
dingles of the Sauk River valley Of Mime
sofa These annual journeyings often
amount to 5000 miles. an almost incom-
prehensible distance when their apparent
ceaseIess roadside tarryings are con-
sidered-Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.

Bette johnson Charged with Being too
Much Married.
On Monday Mr.. W. II. Johnson. a resi-
dent of Chicago. appeared in police court
and swore out an affidavit against Bette
johnson. charging her with bigamy. Clerk
Morrill, prepared the warrant and placed it
In the hands of Detective John T. Norris
for service. Norris went to Toledo. ar
rested the woman and brought her here.
Judge Young last evening admitted her to
bail in the sum of $500.
johnson alleges that the woman Is his
wife and that she was married to him. and
BOT divorced from him and then married Geo.
W. Leach. who is now serving term in
the penitentiary for forgery.
The woman denies her marriage to Leach,
but it Is said that it can be proved she mar
ried him. and that Dr. X. II. Rust per
formed the ceremony. Detective Norris
does not take much stock in the case.
